HCID 129674413,3-Bis(dimethylamino)-2-methoxypropanenitrileYield 33.2%

Procedure

360 g of 1-tert-butoxy-N,N,N′,N′-tetramethylmethanediamine (Bredereck's reagent) (2068 mmol, 1.0 eq.) and 150 g of methoxyacetonitrile (2068 mmol, 1.0 eq.) were stirred for 18 h at 80° C. The reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo. The residue was purified by vacuum distillation to yield 117 g (687 mmol, 33.0%) of the analytical pure target compound as a yellowish liquid.

Workup

  1. concentrationThe reaction mixture was concentrated in vacuo
  2. distillationThe residue was purified by vacuum distillation
